Today my husband and I travelled down to the FS for our 2nd scan - day 8. It revealed plenty of follies on each ovary mostly normal sized ones for this time of the process, however it also showed two whopping big follies one at 18mm and the other at 14mm. (No wonder I'm starting to look like I have a baby belly).
Anywho the FS didn't seem overly concerned, however did mention that hopefully they wouldn't interfere and he kept me on the same dose of Gonal F for the next 4 days.
When I mentioned to the nurses at the clinic just afterwards about my two massive follies, I got more of an information. The nurse advised that sometimes when one or two follies are growing at a quicker rate than the majority they can cause issues with my hormones. I'm not sure exactly what this means and what it could mean for the overall outcome of my stim cycle, but it was clear its not a good thing, and that we want the follies to all be growing at roughly the same rate.
So today I have been feeling a little down, worried as to what the worse case scenario could be and how I will handle it. Might have to google the differences in growth rate of follies???
Wish I had someone to talk to who has experience with all of this.....
